Yes this song gave me hope when I was a teen and a motherless and fatherless child homeless in the cold streets of Boston. Cheryl gave me a voice back then and now I am late 40’s still remember word for word and it still makes me cry knowing I survived through it all me myself and I.. l love you thank you for sharing your gifts with the world I’m so glad you didn’t sleep on them!!
In Junior High School I was very depressed. There were many days I could not find a reason to get out of bed. This song and most most of all by Jody Watley gave me the reason and strength when I needed it most!
It's as if this song was written for me...especially 5 years ago this coming Sunday. I actually had to learn how to love me through Christ. Hasn't been an easy road, but I thank God that HE is proven to me to be the greatest love of all.
I've always loved this song!!!! Those Full Force guys know they could sure write some great songs for women! Between the songs that they wrote for Cheryl and the ones they wrote for Lisa Lisa, it's safe to say that they are WAY in touch with their feminine side.
This song means so much to me. I've always wanted to just escape to a quiet space, doing nothing but listen to great anthems and songs. This is one of those songs. CPR voice is almost angelic. It's a song that just pulls me in ... Thanks for posting.
Always wearing a smile Running free Running wild That’s my best disguise Can’t you tell? So unhappy I could die I’ve considered the try That I stopped and said to myself Girl, this is the easy way out Why not challenge the world I cry up a storm That throws my mind in a swirl Then I looked in the mirror And the reflection said You (you) got to love you Because nothing come easy I have dreams of my own too (ooh) And it’s true Straight to the sun We’ll fly Me, myself and I Sometimes I feel as if I’m standing on a cliff But you can’t let the wind just blow you Must depend on myself And wait for nobody else Though I need someone to love me overtime I stumble through the darkness in my mind I’m living in an hourglass out of time Then I turned to the mirror And my reflection said You (you) got to love you Because nothing comes easy I hope you’re too (ooh) And it’s true
These was a longer version of this song that was on side b of the "cassette single" As a young gay boy, all I wanted was love and this song said so much to me! She is an awesome singer and I will always remember this song fondly!
she & Yolanda Adams have such a beautiful spirit. Both their voices & songs are such an inspiration. Their among the artist i list 2 for insipiration & uplifting.
Cheryl "Pepsi" has a beautiful voice. Some years back, I bought a mixed cd with had her song "Thanks for my child". I just love that song -- and I played it to death and learned the words. Thanks goodness nowadays you can find lyrics on the internet.
This song 🎶 & Entire album got me thru a dark period . I seriously was contemplating suicide a couple nights ago an was questioning God & my entire existence on earth. I’ve overcome so much & battle with Clinical Depression/Anxiety & I’m a Sexual abuse/physical abuse survivor
It's crazy how this song didn't resonat re with me in 1989 as a teen but as I listen to it now. I kick myself. What a great positive life affirming song.
I love this song because at the end of a bad relationship that's all u have me,my and I until a good man r woman comes along to feel that Longley space in your life.
I wonder if this is were beyonce's people got the concept for her song. Yea, I never heard of her until watching Tyler Perry and then watching Full Force's unsung ep on tv one 'Thanks For My Child' was written because on of the members lost their child, so I thought I'd look up some of her old songs. Not bad!
The mirror ," a casket, ? ", You look like the character karomi !. In the book true to the game, young world went to the funeral of Lana's estranged boyfriend World because Lana' s mother talked to him. I Shalimar, xoxo love this song.
Alot of people are asking where she is they must not be Tyler Perry fans.
Oan:Love Cheryl "Pepsi" Riley
For years she’s been working with him
Yes this song gave me hope when I was a teen and a motherless and fatherless child homeless in the cold streets of Boston.

Yes, Boston is COLD! Even in the summers... God bless you for being able to make it out.....🙏🏾
God bless you 🙏
Jesus did it and He's still doing it.❤
🙌🏿 AMEN 🙏🏾
This entire CD got me through a very dark part of my life. It was like she spoke directly into my circumstances.
I'm so with you on this...
Love this woman! Her voice is AWESOME!!! So glad Tyler Perry hires her to sing and act in his plays!
In Junior High School I was very depressed. There were many days I could not find a reason to get out of bed. This song and most most of all by Jody Watley gave me the reason and strength when I needed it most!
Underrated R&B gem from Brooklyn's Miss Cheryl Pepsii Riley.
she is so PRETTY!
This album was on repeat the entire time I was on deployment. Forgot what a classic this is
Unsung brought back the memories of this song...still relevant... thanks
I forgot how many times this song saved my life. I used to hurt so much all the time but this beautiful spirit gave me so much.
It's as if this song was written for me...especially 5 years ago this coming Sunday. I actually had to learn how to love me through Christ. Hasn't been an easy road, but I thank God that HE is proven to me to be the greatest love of all.
one of the most underrated songs of all time
I was 13 in '88. I remember this song. Full Force writes nice songs for women. She can sing too
I was 23, stationed in Pensacola, Florida.
This song got me through my 20's. Lol. Thank you
I've always loved this song!!!! Those Full Force guys know they could sure write some great songs for women! Between the songs that they wrote for Cheryl and the ones they wrote for Lisa Lisa, it's safe to say that they are WAY in touch with their feminine side.
Samantha fox and Latoya jackson had full force songs and productions.
this sing just popped up in my mind today. Glad I found it here! I still know all the lyrics.
Fall of 1988...pretty special times
I love this song and have for a long time now, the message is a timeless one and who better to sing it to us! She's great!
One of The Greatest songs ever written....and SANGEDDDDDD!!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾Cheryl Pepsi Riley fan forever!!!!!
Such a powerful message...timeless and brilliant delivery
I'm a major 80s music fan and had never heard of her until Tyler Perry. Wow!
She was hot for a second back in the day.
This was my favorite back in the day by her. She is a true singer. Not many today can touch her vocally. I just watched her story again on Unsung.
This song deserves more attention
Dynasty Smith 41 and this was out when I was younger and I knew that then.
IKR, I played the mess out of this in high school but I never heard them play it too much on the radio. Great song.
I love my children, can't imagine life without them, you always remember to tell me, thanks for my child all 8 of them!!!!!! God bless you and yours
God has blessed you with all of your beautiful 8 children
This song means so much to me. I've always wanted to just escape to a quiet space, doing nothing but listen to great anthems and songs. This is one of those songs. CPR voice is almost angelic. It's a song that just pulls me in ... Thanks for posting.
Love Cheryl Pepsii Riley and the message in this song! Thanks Unsung! ❤️
this song saved my life as a teen. I lost my mom and this song gave me hope; courage and self worth

I LOVE THIS SONG I USE TO PLAY THIS SONG OUT IT TRUELY HAS A MEANI NG TO IT LOVE YOU CHERYL PEPSI RILEY
Always wearing a smile
Running free
Running wild
That’s my best disguise
Can’t you tell?
So unhappy
I could die
I’ve considered the try
That I stopped and said to myself
Girl, this is the easy way out
Why not challenge the world
I cry up a storm
That throws my mind in a swirl
Then I looked in the mirror
And the reflection said
You (you) got to love you
Because nothing come easy
I have dreams of my own too (ooh)
And it’s true
Straight to the sun
We’ll fly
Me, myself and I
Sometimes I feel as if I’m standing on a cliff
But you can’t let the wind just blow you
Must depend on myself
And wait for nobody else
Though I need someone to love me overtime
I stumble through the darkness in my mind
I’m living in an hourglass out of time
Then I turned to the mirror
And my reflection said
You (you) got to love you
Because nothing comes easy
I hope you’re too (ooh)
And it’s true
Almighty Amazing Voice Quality Of Cheryl Pepsi Rielly Splits My Spleen To Pieces

Cheryl is a ream vocalist. Highly under-appreciated. Always loved this album 'Chapters'.
The word "ream" really didn't age very well did it

She has a amazing voice ❤😊😊❤❤😊.
